This print showcases the renowned Irish philosopher, George Berkeley (1685-1753), in all his intellectual glory. Painted by John Smibert in 1730 during the Age of Enlightenment, this oil on canvas portrait captures the essence of Berkeley's profound thinking and influential ideas. Berkeley, a bishop and Christian theologian, is depicted with an air of wisdom and contemplation. His piercing gaze and composed expression reveal a man deeply engaged in philosophical discourse. The artist skillfully brings out the nuances of Berkeley's character through meticulous brushstrokes that highlight every detail from his facial features to his preaching band. As one of the leading figures of his time, Berkeley made significant contributions to philosophy, particularly in metaphysics and epistemology. He famously argued for immaterialism or "idealism" proposing that reality exists only as perceptions within our minds.

The painting serves as a testament to both men's artistic prowess – Smibert for capturing such vivid realism on canvas and Berkeley for leaving an indelible mark on philosophical thought. This fine art print offers viewers a glimpse into history while honoring two remarkable individuals who have left an enduring legacy in their respective fields: George Berkeley, the Irish philosopher whose ideas continue to shape contemporary thought; and John Smibert, the talented artist who immortalized him with
